Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how MarginCrew LLC, the Michigan limited liability company that offers MarginBrace ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), handles information when you visit or use the current free MarginBrace website and job-pricing calculator (the "Service"). It does not describe a future paid product that has not launched.

2. Calculator information

Labor hours, labor rates, materials, equipment, subcontractor costs, overhead, contingency, fees, margins, and tax rates you enter are calculated locally in your browser. The current Service does not send those values to Company servers or store them in a MarginBrace account or database.

Copy and print functions operate through your browser and device. If you copy, print, save, or share a result, your browser, operating system, printer, storage provider, or recipient may process that information under its own practices.

3. Information processed automatically

Like most websites, our hosting and security providers may automatically process basic request and technical information needed to deliver and protect the Service. This can include IP address, browser and device type, requested page, date and time, referring page, approximate region derived from IP address, and security or error events.

MarginBrace does not currently install advertising pixels or analytics cookies. A hosting provider may use strictly necessary technologies for routing, load balancing, abuse prevention, or security.

4. Information you choose to provide

If you later contact MarginBrace, we will process the contact details and message you provide to respond, maintain business records, prevent abuse, and comply with law. The public support channel appears in the contact section below.

5. How information is used

Information may be used to:

• deliver, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the Service;
• detect fraud, abuse, attacks, or technical failures;
• respond to questions or requests you send;
• keep legal, tax, accounting, and operational records; and
• comply with law and enforce our agreements.

6. When information may be disclosed

We may disclose information:

• to hosting, security, communications, and professional-service providers working for us;
• when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, or valid government requests;
• to protect users, MarginBrace, the Company, or others from fraud, abuse, security threats, or harm; or
• as part of a financing, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of business assets, subject to appropriate protections.

The Company does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. If that practice ever changes, we will update this policy and provide legally required choices before beginning the new practice.

7. Retention

MarginBrace does not retain calculator inputs in the current Service. Hosting and security logs are retained only as long as reasonably needed for delivery, security, troubleshooting, legal compliance, and provider operations. Messages and business records are retained for the period reasonably needed for the purpose collected and applicable legal obligations.

8. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the information we process. No website or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. Data minimization—including keeping calculator inputs in your browser—is a central security measure for the current Service.

9. Your choices and privacy requests

You may use the calculator without creating an account or providing contact information. Browser controls can clear local page state and manage strictly necessary site data. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or information about personal data we hold. The Company will evaluate authenticated requests under applicable law.

Requests may be sent to [email protected]. We may need information sufficient to verify a request and locate responsive records.

10. Children

The Service is designed for adult contractors and business operators, not children under 13. The Company does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we received such information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

11. United States operation

MarginBrace is operated by a United States company. If you access the Service from another country, technical information may be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your location. The initial public launch is intended for United States users.

12. Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the Service changes. We will post the revised policy and update its effective date. A paid product, user accounts, analytics, advertising pixels, or new data collection will require this policy to be reviewed before that feature is enabled.

Privacy questions may be sent to [email protected].
